PESH meet up was good. It would appear we are all acutal preggos and not nutter psychos

We haz done buying stuff for baybee today. room is empty ready for painting as well. Feel like we're getting somewhere.

Have had a mad day. Out the house at 8 and back st 730. So shattered now and contemplating what i can scoff.

Anyone got any thoughts or experiences of the Mothercare My3 pushchair?

That is the one we were planning on getting, only we changed our minds and went for the Spin at the lastminute yesterday because it seems a bit sturdier and the shopping basket is bigger! We can still change our minds back again though as we've just put a deposit down on their baby plan so you just go in when ever you like and make a payment and you only make a final decision at the end.

Morning! Fearsome itchy nips and swollen front bottom. Welcome to late pregnancy

With these stories, you are really spoiling us cunty

Oh cossie I can give you plenty more if that's what you like to hear. How about, the pressure on my lower bowel is so intensely painful that last night I spent 20 mins leaning on the table in agony unable to move? Or, my tummy now feels like it's actually going to rip apart down the front if I so much as lean over to cuddle my daughter? I am 36 weeks today and I Have Had Enough.

I can't believe I am saying this, but I am actually looking forward to my mother arriving. And if you knew anything about the relationship between us you would agree that's a pretty desperate state to be in.

Well I'm glad I'm not alone. Today I appear to be the proud owner of a fecal impaction (TMI? ), irritated urinary tract and agonising/noisy right hip/pelvis. Fun, no?

I have not passed a bowel movement for three days an have spent three one-hour-long sessions crying on the toilet . And bump is in agony. I don't think the baby has room to move with all that going on. Hey ho, I'm sure I still have the joys of piles to come

But, I do believe it's time to ring MW and get answers to my questions from Friday and all of the above. Think I'm going to get a rep as a PITA!

My sympathies to all fellow horrible pregnancy symptom sufferers. And thanks for the kind words/reassuring stories from Friday.

PLease entertain me with stories from the PESH meet. I am in bed on v slow internet and need amusement.

Oh Curly you think you've got it bad? try being woken by bloody barking dog on the hour all night! I am going doo lally. Nearly caved and brought him up but husband talked me round at 3am. Babies have for to be easy compared to this mental torture.

cas I had a nasty, erm, blockage a week or so ago. When it finally passed with tears and cries of pain I thought my whole bottom had come out with it. It was beyond horrible. Since then I've been taking Fybogel every second day but I am undecided as to whether this has problem of its own, i.e. random gurgling agonies and constant need to pass wind or relieve something down there. I suspect it's simply that the baby has decided to ignore my internal organs insistence that they actually need some space to function.

poor you fanny, this is not fun. and i imagine the sitting on the loo for a long time is even more difficult for you. glad you got it out in the end.

moo, my furry baby is in bed with me now but she will stay out if told...

I really feel for you down there. I'm off to eat prunes right now.

I am currently having no issues "going". Fanny when is your section date? Do you have a date?

moo when do you finish work? We are due around the same time and I can't figure out when I should finish?

How lovely! Monday morning constipation talk! (Sorry for the sobering effect this will be having on the joyous newly-diffed amongst us.)

okie Currently scheduled for 39+1. MrP said yesterday maybe we should ask them to bring it forward given the state I'm in. But two problems with this:

1. There is always more risk to the baby in bringing it forward, however small that risk;
2. We seriously need my mum to be here for the birth as she will need to stay here with daughter while we're at the hossie.

I think I just need to man up and tough it out.

I think you are being very brave. Maybe they could consider even a week earlier?

We need a new fred soon. Any thoughts?

I am in maternity clothes fully now at only 15+2 - my tummy muscles are clearly shot to pieces, hence the protruding tum tum so early. My normal jeans are just too uncomfortable. I got all my maternity stuff out of the loft thinking I would not need to buy anything more and they are all pretty trashed. I clearly wore everything to death last time.

For the 2nd timers when did you first feel baybee?

Okie was planning on getting outta there a month before really. Although this will eat into my crap mat pay by a few weeks as don't have masses of holiday to take...Although given the state of crap mat pay a few weeks is neither here nor there really and I suspect I will also have had enough by then.

That said, Mr Moo and I sat down and had a Very Serious Talk About Budgeting and scared ourselves witless really. the upshot of that is that June holiday is cancelled (waaaaahhhhh), I need to start shopping at Lidl and we are in Saving Mode. Obviously you'd think we might have considered this before but we are not very good at this sort of financial planning thing. We need a clever grown up to tell us what to do.

Added to this sobering realisation, the dog is driving me nuts and I know I probably have another week or more of broken sleep before he realises that he ain't coming up to our room for beddy byes. I'm so cross with myself for breaking it before and causing all of this grief.

Sympathy anyone? ;)

Yes, we are seriously running out of space.

Who needs to be added/updated? Speak up now - we only do the 'not-list' once a thread.

Title suggestions?

The PESH Deli for updiffed BESHes - Blooming? You must be feckin' joking, right?

The PESH Deli for updiffed BESHes - Please tick all that apply: Confused? Fat? Weepy? Puking? Constipated? Terrified? Weeing in your knickers?

Where were you going? The Madives? Can't you just go somewhere cheaper? Holidays will never the same again with a child in tow (nice still but no lie ins!) and if you can get away somewhere as your "last fling" then I am sure you would love it!

I worked til 12 days before due date last time (he was 8 days late so I still had 3 weeks) but the thinking was I would have more time after..I still went back to work earlier than I had planned so like you I think I will finish earlier this time to get some rest beforehand.

okie I was in mat clothes at 7-8 weeks. Clearly due to gas expanding my belly. I wore belly bands and normal tops until about 14 weeks but trousers had to be maternity from the beginning . At least I've had lots of use from them! I felt baby from about 12 week I think. Can't remember exactly. But was very tiny, wooshy ickle movements. Not like the kicks in the ribs I get now!

Everyone with horrid symptoms:

My current list is:

• piles (well you are talking about poo, so I'm gonna share). Have had from V early on and are mostly not painful but sometimes flare up and are VERY painful. Mostly just uncomfortable. Have to be VERY careful about how I - um - go to avoid making them worse.
• hip pain which is nothing at all in any way like cas or fanny's. But can be pretty uncomfortable. Started physio today.
• Braxton Hicks which are ok except on Saturday night when I think I'd overdone it with the driving etc, I had a few painful ones which were a bit disconcerting, but they passed.
• Acid reflux, mostly as I go to bed.
• Sometimes VERY painful kicking of ribs.
• Itchy bump which I find myself standing and scratching, which is attractive.

I think that's really it for now. All minor irritations rather than anything like some of you are getting so I'm really lucky at the moment.

Had a really lovely time on Saturday. ski and cos are fab company (thanks you two) and I really didn't want to go, but we had a ticket on the car which we were over even then (but no parking ticket thank goodness). It was quite funny as we sat in the restaurant/bar talking about breast pads and for a moment it seemed that cos was being eyed up by some footie lads at the next table, but then it turned out that they were just a bit by our conversation .

I was surprisingly knackered after I got home as I felt ok all day, and was quite comfortable with the driving while I was doing it, but I felt really ill in the evening and just went to sleep at about 8ish or so, having had several really quite painful and worrying braxton hicks. If they'd carried on I would have gone into the hospital but they stopped. I felt much, much better on Sunday, and just took it easy. We did have a viewing on Sunday (which seemed positive, fingers crossed) so we needed to clean and tidy but YOB had done most of it on Saturday, and I was able to get some sitting down done.

So the moral of the story is, I need to slow down. Had a long chat with YOB about it as I felt really guilty (that Catholic guilt I mentioned, cunty, is what YOB calls it ) and a bit of a wuss. He said that was stupid, and I should be relaxing (and it was his job to look after me, bless him). But does anyone else feel like they should just be carrying on regardless?

Um,

Can I be all un-PESHy and request we drop the "f" word from the list part?

It's a bit shocking to my gentle nature, you see.

But I am willing to be voted against on this!

Suppose better update my due date to the 20th.

rots I was also shattered on Saturday night and all I did was sit in the car, I didn?t even drive! I had a pain all over my bump that evening and generally felt rubbish. I was supposed to be cycling with my friend on Sunday but I cancelled as I was so tired.

Just in time before thread end - my due date is November 14th! Can we add it in to the not-a-list?

I am shuddering at the constipation horror stories... I am eating all-bran every day and may switch to an exclusive diet of it if this talk continues...

CurlyCasper, hospital botherer, due July 21

Yup, I'm off to day assessment again this avo

And should be getting a lactulose prescription if I can get past the gestappo (sp?) on the phone at the docs.

I second the bravery of MrsFanny and worship at her restful feet.

Are you jumping the queue with that due date rotty? (brings the July Four into a neater bundle!)

And, sorry, but I quite like our little fuck at the start of each fred (after all, that's how we all got into this mess!)

Right, off for some fibre filled food.

Honeymoo, no it's not fucking indigestion, due 2 November
